Chapter 528 Jiangnan Dilemma
The news of the fall of Wuchang and the killing of Kong Youde came to Beijing, which was like a thunderclap, awakening the Qing court.
Faced with the sudden increase in external pressure, the Qing court, which was originally in a split, moved towards compromise again.
Jirgalang and others realized that continuing to compete for power with the two white flags would only benefit the Ming army in the south, so they gave up the goal of completely defeating Dorgun.
Doni and others also realized that after Doorg's death, they could no longer take over Doorg's former rights.
Previously, Doni and Louqin wanted to hold on and wait for Ajige to march northward, but Wuchang fell, Jiangning crisis, and the war situation in the south deteriorated suddenly, causing Ajige to be restrained in Yangzhou. Doni and Louqin also lost their thoughts of waiting for Ajige.
Now Bumubutai decided to affirm Dorgun's status, so Doni and others could only acquiesce Shunzhi to take power and take back some of his power.
In mid-December, although Shunzhi was reluctant, he still led the ministers to go out of Dongzhi Gate with clothes in garments and welcomed Dorgon's rotten body.
One day later, Shunzhi issued an edict to respect Doergun as "Maode, practice Taoism, broaden affairs, and stabilize merits, and ensure the people, and establish politics, sincerity and respect for the Emperor Yi". He put the temple name as Chengzong, and buried Doergun with the emperor's etiquette. He also respected Doergun's wife Borjijit as the Queen of Yi, and gave Doordo to adopt Doergun's son Doergun as the prince, and his salary was three times that of the kings.
Doergun was in power for ten years and had many followers. Bumubutai asked Fulin to affirm Doergun's position. In addition to the pressure from the external Ming army, it was also for Fulin to be able to firmly hold the country and temporarily stabilize the two white flag nobles.
Fu Lin issued an order to posthumously named Doorgun, which made Doorgun, who was originally in a turbulent heart, calm down and relaxed his vigilance.
If Doorgun is denied, their gangs will naturally be punished. Now Doorgun's political status and contribution are affirmed, and their position will naturally be temporarily stabilized.
After posthumously named Doorgun, giving Doorgun a very high position and affirming his achievements, Fulin immediately promoted Doorgun's close attendant Zhan Dai, Suksaha as the Minister of Political Consultative Affairs, and also appeased He Luohui, Tan Tai and others. Most of the ministers of Doorgun's original positions were not moved, and they were even promoted.
In this way, the resistance of the two white flag nobles to Shunzhi's command in power was reduced and they no longer competed with the imperial party.
While comforting Doer's return, the people who have made great efforts to move Doer's return were also rewarded by a group.
First of all, the status of the two yellow flag nobles was restored, and Sony, Oboi and others were all restored, and the status of Mandahai, Luke Dehun, Wakda and others was promoted.
In addition, because Fu Lingang was in charge of the government and was not familiar with government affairs, Jirgalang, Ajige, Mandahai, Doni and Yuele were the five kings of governing the government.
As a result, the internal turmoil in the Qing Dynasty was initially stabilized, but the internal tide of the Qing Dynasty reached a compromise, but the threats faced by the outside world did not change.
After the Longwu court seized Wuchang, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were eyeing Jiangning. At the same time, Zhu Yihai from Zhejiang was also mobilizing troops to capture Jiangnan.
After the Qing army failed in the Battle of Chu and Gan, the army suffered a lot of losses. The Qing army in Jiangnan was originally comparable to the Zhejiang Army and Donghai Town. Now the Ming army in Chu and Gan threatened Jiangning. The Qing army in Jiangnan was attacked from both sides, and the situation became dangerous.
At this time, in the Hall of Political Affairs, the four major political kings of Jirgalang, Mandahai, Doni, and Yuele gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Fulin was still sitting upright on the throne, Bumubutai lived behind the pearl curtain, listening to everyone's discussion.
At this time, Jiergalang presided over the meeting, and he said in a deep voice: "According to news from the south, Zhu Yihai and the pirate Zhao Ming raised 200,000 troops and were about to attack Jiangning. At the same time, Zhu Youjian, who had just occupied Wuchang in Chu and Gan, also intends to lead more than 200,000 troops to go east along the Yangtze River and attack Jiangning. The current situation in the south is in crisis, and Jiangnan is equally attacking both sides!"
Now Jiangnan is under the command of Ajige, and the Qing army has a force of about 200,000, which is comparable to the Ming army in Zhejiang.
Now, the Qing army in Jiangnan has to face not only the Zhejiang-type Ming army in the south, but also the Chu-Gan-Ming army in the west, which is difficult for Ajige to deal with.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it fought with the Ming army for nearly ten years. The two armies gradually went to the south and entered a stalemate stage of relative balance of strength.
Between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the strength was close in the three major war zones of Bashu, Jingchu and Jiangnan, but now the collapse of the Qing army in Jingchu has affected the military balance between the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the south.
Doni said angrily: "The situation has deteriorated to this point. Luke Dehun should withdraw his troops by himself, and Luke Dehun should be severely punished!"
Jirgalang frowned at the hearing of the word, "Doni, today we are discussing how to resolve the crisis, not to hold who is responsible."
When Doni heard the words, his face turned gloomy and stopped talking. Jirgalang then glanced at everyone and said, "Do you have any solutions to resolve this crisis?"
Everyone in the hall suddenly became quiet and the conditions were serious. Yue Ledao said worriedly: "When faced with the threats from the two Ming troops, the court must send troops to reinforce the British king in order to have the opportunity to defend Jiangnan and resolve the crisis."
Mandahai said in a deep voice: "The key is that there is an emergency now. My Qing Dynasty has no troops that can be mobilized to reinforce Jiangnan!"
Fulin, who was sitting on the throne, was a little puzzled and frowned and said, "My Qing Dynasty is dominant in the north, why can't we even redirect the troops to reinforce Jiangnan now?"
At this time, the Qing Dynasty occupied the territory, which was still larger than that of the Southern Ming Dynasty and had a larger population than that of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Fulin didn't quite understand why the Qing army, which was still under the Ming army in the past few years, suddenly faced a dilemma without any troops.
Mandahai glanced at Doni and saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, in the past two years, the court has fought with the pirates and has suffered consecutive defeats. He had lost several consecutive defeats before and lost a large number of troops. Now, the King of Pingxi, Sichuan is fighting fiercely with Sun Thief and cannot pull away. The pirates are entrenched in Liaodong and Korea. The court needs to set up troops to guard against them, so he cannot draw out many troops at all."
Jiergalang also said at this time: "Jiangnan is now threatened on both sides. The pseudo-Ming army of Chu and Gan, coupled with the forces of Zhu Yihai and Haipi, the pseudo-Ming army participating in the battle may be close to 500,000. The court is now drawing troops, gathering tens of thousands of people, and investing in Jiangnan. The impact on the situation of the war is limited and it cannot change the passive situation of Jiangnan!"
When Fu Lin heard the words, he secretly hated Doer in his heart. The Qing Dynasty's country was ruined to such a passive level.
"What should I do?" Fulin's face turned gloomy, and Bumu Butai's expression became heavy behind the bead curtain.
